In this day and age, the word "relationships" can have a skewed meaning. The younger generation may immediately think of the number of friends they have on Facebook or their followers on Instagram. Others may think of something more intimate, like boyfriends and girlfriends or spouses. But there is more, and I was reminded of that over the weekend at a yard sale, a funeral and a family reunion.

En Europa se han debatido propuestas para legalizar el matrimonio y las uniones civiles entre personas del mismo sexo. Actualmente 31 de los 50 países y los 8 territorios dependientes en el continente reconocen algún tipo de unión entre personas LGBT, entre ellos la mayoría de los miembros de la Unión Europea (23/27).

En 2022, dieciocho países europeos reconocen legalmente y celebran matrimonios entre personas del mismo sexo: Austria, Bélgica, Dinamarca, España, Finlandia, Francia, Alemania, Islandia, Irlanda, Luxemburgo, Malta, Países Bajos, Noruega, Portugal, Reino Unido, Suecia, Eslovenia y Suiza. Otros doce países europeos reconocen legalmente alguna forma de unión civil, a saber, Andorra, Croacia, Chipre, Estonia, Grecia, Hungría, Italia, Liechtenstein, Mónaco, Montenegro, República Checa y San Marino.

Polonia reconoce la convivencia privada y consentida de dos personas (independientemente de la orientación sexual o el tipo de relación, incluidas las relaciones no sexuales no íntimas) con derechos limitados. Aunque no reconocen las uniones entre personas del mismo sexo, Bulgaria, Letonia, Lituania y Rumania están obligados por una sentencia del Tribunal de Justicia de la Unión Europea a reconocer los matrimonios entre personas del mismo sexo celebrados dentro de la Unión Europea y reconocer el derecho de residencia a los cónyuges de ciudadanos europeos, aunque esta sentencia no siempre se respeta en la práctica, como en el caso de Rumania, que no la ha implementado.

Del grupo de países que habilitaron el matrimonio igualitario, algunos aún permiten las uniones civiles, p. ej., los países del Benelux, Francia y el Reino Unido, mientras que Alemania, Irlanda y los países nórdicos han abolido su legislación sobre unión civil previa al matrimonio, de modo que las uniones existentes permanecen pero no es posible crear nuevas.

Varios países europeos no reconocen las uniones entre personas del mismo sexo. Entre los países que definen el matrimonio como la unión conyugal entre un hombre y una mujer en sus constituciones están Armenia, Bielorrusia, Bulgaria, Croacia, Eslovaquia, Georgia, Hungría, Letonia, Lituania, Moldavia, Montenegro, Polonia, Rusia, Serbia y Ucrania. Sin embargo, de este grupo Croacia, Hungría y Montenegro reconocen las parejas del mismo sexo, mientras que Armenia técnicamente a los matrimonios entre personas del mismo sexo celebrados en el extranjero (aunque se desconoce el grado de reconocimiento y no hay casos documentados hasta la fecha). Aunque Italia, que ya ofrece en algunas regiones registros de parejas de hecho, Chipre y Polonia también se han planteado una regularización estatal de las parejas del mismo sexo, la oposición política conservadora y la influyente jerarquía católica (en el caso de Italia y Polonia) y ortodoxa (en el caso de Chipre) hacen improbable que estas propuestas se hagan efectivas a corto plazo.

Situación actual

Organismos internacionales

Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos
A lo largo de los años, el Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos (TEDH) ha recibido casos que cuestionan la falta de reconocimiento legal de las parejas del mismo sexo en ciertos Estados miembro del Consejo de Europa, aunque ha sostenido que la Convención Europea de Derechos Humanos (CEDH) requiere que estos proporcionen reconocimiento legal, sin obligación que el matrimonio sea habilitado a parejas del mismo sexo.

En Schalk and Kopf v Austria (24 de junio de 2010), el TEDH falló que la CEDH no obliga a los Estados miembro a legislar o reconocer legalmente los matrimonios entre personas del mismo sexo. Sin embargo, esta corte internacional, por primera vez, admitió las relaciones entre personas del mismo sexo como una forma de «vida familiar».

En Vallianatos and Others v Greece (7 de noviembre de 2013), el TEDH sostuvo que la exclusión de las parejas del mismo sexo del registro de una unión civil —una forma legal de unión disponible para las parejas del sexo opuesto— viola la Convención. Grecia había promulgado una ley en 2008 que establecía uniones civiles solo para parejas del sexo opuesto. Una nueva ley de 2015 amplió los derechos de asociación a parejas del mismo sexo.

Oliari and Others v Italy (21 de julio de 2015) fue más allá y estableció una obligación positiva para los Estados miembro otorgaran reconocimiento legal a las parejas del mismo sexo. Italia violó así la Convención y finalmente implementó las uniones civiles en 2016. La decisión sentó un precedente para posibles casos futuros con respecto a los Estados miembro, ciertos territorios británicos y neerlandeses y Estados con reconocimiento limitado (excepto Kosovo), que actualmente no reconocen el derecho a la vida familiar de las parejas del mismo sexo.

Chapin and Charpentier v France (9 de junio de 2016) reafirmó en gran medida a Schalk and Kopf v Austria, sosteniendo que negar el acceso al matrimonio a una pareja del mismo sexo no viola la Convención. En el momento de la sentencia, Francia ya permitía el matrimonio entre personas del mismo sexo, aunque el caso se había originado en 2004, cuando solo el pacto civil de solidaridad (pacs) estaba disponible para las parejas del mismo sexo en Francia.

Unión Europea
En 2003 la Comisión Anual de Libertades del Parlamento Europeo presentó un informe, que finalmente no fue aprobado, en el que se pretendía instar a los países miembros a reconocer a las parejas homosexuales los mismos derechos de las heterosexuales. Aunque el texto fue rechazado por 279 votos contra 259 y 9 abstenciones, el Parlamento Europea aconsejó la inclusión en su agenda política el debate sobre los matrimonios homosexuales.

En el Parlamento Europeo se produjo un debate sobre cómo exigir a sus Estados miembro que reconozcan los matrimonios entre personas del mismo sexo celebrados en otros Estados miembro, así como las uniones civiles o uniones registradas de ciudadanos europeos, a fin de garantizar el derecho a la libertad de movimiento de los miembros de la familia de sus ciudadanos. El informe fue aprobado el 15 de enero de 2009 por 401 votos contra 220 y 67 abstenciones.

La Directiva 2004/38/CE relativa al derecho de los ciudadanos de la Unión y de los miembros de sus familias a circular y residir libremente en el territorio de los Estados miembros requiere que los países que legalizaron uniones de personas del mismo sexo reconozcan las parejas de los demás con el fin de proteger la libertad de movimiento. Sin embargo, el Parlamento Europeo ha aprobado un informe que pide el reconocimiento mutuo.

De acuerdo con la jurisprudencia del Tribunal de Justicia de la Unión Europea (TJUE) basada en la Directiva 2000/78/CE relativa al establecimiento de un marco general para la igualdad de trato en el empleo y la ocupación, los empleados que mantienen una pareja civil registrada con una persona del mismo sexo deben recibir los mismos beneficios que se otorgan a sus colegas al contraer matrimonio, cuando esta institución civil no es posible para parejas del mismo sexo. El TJUE estableció este principio legal en 2008 en el caso Tadao Maruko v. Versorgungsanstalt der deutschen Bühnen con respecto a una unión registrada en Alemania. En diciembre de 2013, el TJUE confirmó esto en Frédéric Hay v. Crédit agricole mutuel con respecto a un pacto civil de solidaridad francés, que es significativamente inferior al matrimonio que una pareja de hecho registrada en Alemania.

En 2008 fue presentada ante la Asamblea General de las Naciones Unidas la declaración sobre orientación sexual e identidad de género, iniciativa de los gobiernos francés y neerlandés con el respaldo de la Unión Europea.

En 2010, el activista LGBT rumano Adrian Coman y su pareja estadounidense Robert Claibourn Hamilton se casaron en Bélgica y posteriormente intentaron mudarse a Rumania. Las autoridades locales rehusaron reconocer su matrimonio y el caso escaló hasta el TJUE. El 11 de enero de 2018, el abogado general del TJUE, Melchior Wathelet, emitió una opinión legal oficial en la que sostenía que un Estado miembro no puede negar los derechos de residencia al cónyuge del mismo sexo de un ciudadano europeo con el argumento de que no recococe el matrimonio entre personas del mismo sexo.

El 5 de junio de 2018, el TJUE falló a favor de Coman, afirmando que el término spouse («cónyuge») en la directiva 2004/38/CE es neutral en cuanto al género y, por tanto, los Estados miembro están obligados a reconocer los derechos de residencia en la Unión Europea para las parejas de ciudadanos europeos. Sin embargo, el TJUE confirmó que aún el competencia de los Estados miembro si autorizan el matrimonio entre personas del mismo sexo en sus ordenamientos jurídicos.

Según una investigación del Parlamento Europeo, algunos Estados miembro aún no otorgan en la práctica la residencia a los cónyuges del mismo sexo, como lo exige Coman and Others v Inspectoratul General pentru Imigrări and Ministerul Afacerilor Interne. De hecho, el Gobierno rumano no le había concedido la residencia al propio Hamilton pese al fallo. El 14 de septiembre de 2021, el Parlamento Europeo aprobó una resolución en la que condenaba el incumplimiento de la resolución por parte de algunos Estado miembro y llamaba a la Comisión Europea para que garantizara el respeto de los derechos de los cónyuges del mismo sexo.

En 2021, la Comisión de Peticiones del Parlamento Europeoinformó que 10 Estados miembro se niegan a reconocer a las parejas del mismo sexo como padres/madres conjuntos de sus hijos, lo que conduce a situaciones en las que dos personas reconocidas como padres en un país verían que sus lazos familiares se esfuman legalmente después de cruzar una frontera. Un problema bastante común es que los certificados de nacimiento emitidos en un Estado miembro y que enumeran a dos personas del mismo sexo como padres no son reconocidos en otros países, lo que lleva como resultado que algunos niños no tienen pasaportes. El caso V.M.A. v Stolichna Obsthina involucra a una niña nacida en España que no podía reclamar la nacionalidad búlgara porque sus madres eran una pareja de lesbianas. Un informe político encargado por la Comisión de Peticiones recomienda que la Comisión Europea o el TJUE aclaren que la Directiva 2004/38/CE también se aplica a las familias LGBT y que no deberían ser discriminadas en el ejercicio de sus derechos de libre circulación de la Unión Europea. El 14 de diciembre de 2021, el TJUE aceptó la posición de la Comisión de Peticiones y determinó que Bulgaria infringía la legislación comunitaria por no emitir documentos al hijo de la pareja de lesbianas. El fallo señala que, si bien sigue siendo una prerrogativa de un Estado miembro decidir si extiende o no el matrimonio a parejas del mismo sexo y los derechos de adopción LGBT a sus ciudadanos, esta potestad no puede ejercerse a expensas de que la niña sea privada de la relación con una de sus madres mientras ejerce su derecho a la libertad de circulación dentro de la Unión Europea.

Tratados internacionales
El Tratado de la Unión Europea, en su última versión actualizada por el Tratado de Lisboa en 2007 y en vigor a partir de 2009, hace que la Carta de los Derechos Fundamentales de la Unión Europea sea jurídicamente vinculante para los Estados miembro de la Unión Europea y las instituciones comunitarias. A su vez, el artículo 21 de la Carta de los Derechos Fundamentales de la Unión Europea incluye una disposición contra la discriminación que establece que «se prohíbe toda discriminación, y en particular la ejercida por [...] orientación sexual».

Además, el Tratado de Funcionamiento de la Unión Europea establece en el artículo 10 que la Unión Europea tiene la obligación positiva de combatir la discriminación, entre otras cosas, por motivos de orientación sexual y el artículo 19 provee las formas en que el Consejo y el Parlamento Europeo pueden proponer activamente la aprobación de leyes para hacerlo. Estas disposiciones fueron promulgadas por el Tratado de Ámsterdam en 1999.

 Andorra: el 10 de marzo de 2020, los tres partidos que forman la coalición de gobierno —Demócratas, Liberales y Ciudadanos Comprometidos— presentaron el borrador de un proyecto de ley para legalizar el matrimonio entre personas del mismo sexo. Tras consultar con el Ilustre Colegio de Abogados y el Consejo Superior de Justicia, el proyecto de ley fue presentado en el Consejo General el 24 de noviembre y se encuentra en consulta pública hasta el 4 de enero de 2022, más de un año después de su introducción, tras varias extensiones.

 Liechtenstein: el 29 de septiembre de 2021, el Parlamento celebró un debate en el que la mayoría de los partidos políticos coincidieron, a rasgos generales, en que debería legalizarse el matrimonio entre personas del mismo sexo. Han convocado consultas públicas antes de legislar sobre el tema.

Sociedad no matrimonial

Propuestas del Ejecutivo o de la mayoría parlamentaria
 Bosnia y Herzegovina: en octubre de 2018, el Gobierno de la Federación de Bosnia y Herzegovina anunció la formación de un grupo de trabajo para examinar la situación jurídica de las parejas LGBT en su territorio, con el objetivo final de proponer una solución legal para las uniones civiles del mismo sexo. El grupo de trabajo se estableció en enero de 2020 y debía comenzar a trabajar en abril, pero su labor se pospuso debido a la pandemia de COVID-19.

 Lituania: en diciembre de 2020, el diputado Tomas Raskevičius del Partido de la Libertad dijo que el Gobierno lituano presentará un proyecto de ley para las uniones civiles en marzo de 2021, que no se concretó. La introducción del proyecto de ley era una condición para la creación de la coalición gobernante.

 Kosovo: el 7 de julio de 2020, el ministro de Justicia, Selim Selimi, presentó un Código Civil revisado que, según manifestó, incluía un camino para permitir las uniones civiles entre personas del mismo sexo, al tiempo que solo permitía el matrimonio a las parejas del sexo opuesto. Después de que se apruebe, se requerirá una ley especial para las uniones civiles.

 Serbia: en noviembre de 2020, Gordana Čomić, ministra de Derechos Humanos y de las Minorías y Diálogo Social, anunció que una ley sobre las parejas de hecho del mismo sexo se presentaría en el Parlamento en la primera mitad de 2021.

Opinión pública

El apoyo público al matrimonio igualitario de los Estados miembro de la Unión Europea, medido en una encuesta de 2015, es superior en los Países Bajos (91 %), Suecia (90 %), Dinamarca (87 %), España (84 %), Irlanda (80 %), Bélgica (77 %), Luxemburgo (75 %), Reino Unido (71 %) y Francia (71 %). En los últimos años, el apoyo ha aumentado de forma más significativa en Malta, del 18 % en 2006 al 65 % en 2015 y en Irlanda del 41 % en 2006 al 80 % en 2015.

Después de la aprobación del matrimonio entre personas del mismo sexo en Portugal en enero de 2010, el 52 % de la población declaró estar a favor de la legislación. En 2008, el 58 % de los votantes noruegos apoyó el matrimonio igualitario, que se introdujo ese mismo año, y el 31 % estaba en contra. En enero de 2013, el 54.1 % de los italianos encuestados apoyaba el matrimonio LGBT. En una encuesta de finales de enero de 2013, el 77.2 % de los italianos encuestados apoyaba el reconocimiento de las uniones entre personas del mismo sexo. Según una encuesta de Ipsos publicada en 2021, el 83 % de los italianos estaba a favor del reconocimiento legal de las parejas LGBT, el 10 % declaró estar en contra y el 7 % no tenía una posición específica sobre el tema. 59 % de los italianos encuestados afirmaron estar a favor de que las parejas del mismo sexo adopten en forma conjunta, mientras que el 36 % se opuso.

En Grecia, el apoyo se triplicó con creces entre 2006 y 2017. En 2006, el 15 % de los griegos dijeron que estaban de acuerdo con que se permitiera el matrimonio igualitario en toda Europa, aumentando al 50.04 % en 2017. Una encuesta en 2020 indicó que el 56 % de la población griega acepta el matrimonio LGBT.

En Irlanda, una encuesta de 2008 reveló que el 84 % de las personas apoyaba las uniones civiles para parejas del mismo sexo (y el 58 % para el matrimonio entre personas del mismo sexo), mientras que una encuesta de 2010 mostró que el 67 % apoyaba el matrimonio entre personas del mismo sexo  para 2012. esta cifra había subido al 73 % en apoyo. El 22 de mayo de 2015, el 62.1 % del electorado irlandés votó a favor de incorporar el matrimonio igualitario en la Constitución en igual de derechos al matrimonio heterosexual.

En Croacia, una encuesta realizada en noviembre de 2013 reveló que el 59 % de los croatas piensa que el matrimonio debería definirse constitucionalmente como una unión entre un hombre y una mujer, mientras que el 31 % no está de acuerdo con la idea. En Polonia, el apoyo a los matrimonios entre personas del mismo sexo ha aumentado del 17 % en 2006 al 45 % en 2019, según el Eurobarómetro; otras encuestas muestran que la mayoría apoya las uniones registradas.

En la Unión Europea, el apoyo tiende a ser más bajo en Bulgaria, Letonia, Hungría, Rumania, Eslovaquia y Lituania. El promedio de apoyo al matrimonio igualitario en la Unión Europea a partir de 2006, cuando tenía 25 miembros, era del 44 %, que había descendido de un porcentaje anterior del 53 %. El cambio fue provocado por la incorporación de países socialmente conservadores en la Unión Europea. En 2015, con 28 miembros, el apoyo promedio era del 61 %.

The post 3 Ways You Can Finance Home Remodelling Project Without Going Broke appeared first on Oak Laurel.
Here is a topic that is always considered "hot" in the Land Down Under. Surely everybody loves the idea of remodelling their home, either because they wish to enjoy it more, or they have a future sale in mind. Be that as it may, no other nation is more prone to house renovation projects than the Aussies.
It appears that home makeover shows have changed the awareness of home owners quite a bit. The figures speak for themselves. Currently, the home improvement market is worth $43 billion, and it's expected to reach $50 billion in the next 10 years. If this doesn't sound too impressive, how about the fact that there has been an increase of 147% in home renovations since 2010? Australia has 49 hardware or home improvement stores per 1 million people, which is much bigger ratio than in the UK or the USA. According to a survey, 72% of Aussies would rather spend $15,000 on a home reconstruction project instead of going on holiday.
With so many avid and keen home owners, the demand for home renovation projects is met with a myriad of options for borrowing the necessary funds. Depending on the renovation plan, the amounts may vary. Personal loans such as borrowing from a friend or a family member aren't the issue here, and neither are the options on how to limit your spending. If it were that simple, you wouldn't be reading this, would you? Instead, we are going to take a look at two types of loans which you could use for bigger projects, such as a kitchen or bathroom makeover, and suggest some creative ways how to earn the extra cash you need without going into debt.
Home Equity Line of Credit, or HELOC, is renowned for offering the lowest rates in comparison to the other options. Of course, they vary depending on a lender, but generally speaking, these rates are much better than what you could expect with a credit card. This is an option you can consider even if your redecorating costs exceed $50,000, and your home is the factor which guarantees you will repay the full amount. Actually, that is the reason why the interest rate is so low – you are betting it all on your home. Let's take a look how it works.
Say you have equity in your home. Even though you are still paying off the mortgage, it's perfectly possible to qualify for this type of loan. For instance, if your home is estimated to cost $200,000 and your mortgage at this moment is $150,000, that means you have $50,000 in equity. However, normally lenders secure themselves by limiting the amount you can borrow to around 85% of the property value. Therefore, since 85% of $200,000 is $170,000, and we subtract the total mortgage (those $150,000), we are left with $20,000, which is the amount that can be approved.
Home Equity Line of Credit is often compared to credit cards due to the reason you don't get the whole amount at once. Even though you borrow the total sum, you can access it periodically.
If you like the sound of this, it would be a good idea to apply. As we have mentioned earlier, the interest rates are low, but not the same for everyone. Normally, they are adjustable, though there are still instances when they can be fixed (even on your own demand if you prefer). The good news is some amounts can be tax deductible, but it's best to check in advance.
The spelling may not necessarily give you any hints about this loan. As the name suggests, your home equity is the reason why you are being approved. It has some similarities with the previous one, but it's not exactly the same, as we shall explain.
For instance, this is a fixed rate loan, and the rate is usually higher than it is the case with HELOC. On the plus side, interest rates are lower compared to credit card or personal loans. There is also an interesting option of paying wages into your account to decrease the interest rates. In case when you can pay extra in addition to your fixed monthly repayment, that decreases your loan term, too.
Also, you can have the whole amount immediately instead of waiting for another month or year to pass. If you need to invest the money all at once, this would be the way to go. Of course, provided that you are able to make the payments later in the years to come.
Typically, the process of getting a HEL loan is very fast, which is ideal in cases when you have an excellent offer from a builder that you don't want to miss out on. Should you need some extra cash, you can apply for that, too.
By the way, if anyone starts recommending you the "second mortgage" loan, this is actually what they are talking about. HEL loans are known as second mortgages, too, because people usually add them to their first mortgage. In addition, transaction fees and closing costs are what makes it similar to the first mortgage. Nevertheless, that does not mean you need to have a first mortgage to qualify for Home Equity Loan.
Finally, one thing these two loans have in common is the equity, and you mustn't forget about it. They are provided based on your home value, so you have to make the home loan repayments on time in order not to lose it. On the bright side, there are usually lots of options how to best adjust home loan repayments to suit you and your current financial state, so they're worth looking into.
If you have some minor alterations in mind, you could consider earning extra cash as opposed to applying for loans or using your precious credit card. Surely, it will take some time to add up, but it's definitely worth it. There are no interest rates of debts, but you had better be very responsible when it comes to saving and spending. Patience is a virtue, too, since this process takes some time.
Therefore, let's see some suggestions on side hustles you could add to your 9-5 routine.
Renting – if there is an extra room you aren't using, thing about getting a roommate. Another option is or putting it on a website offering accommodation to travellers. You will meet some interesting people, and still be able to keep your privacy since you can choose the times when your home is accepting guests. Besides this, you could rent a parking space or a garage. There is probably someone in the overcrowded neighbourhood who is willing to pay good money for it.
Pet sitting – This is an ideal job for all animal lovers. Actually, you could easily be reading a book, chatting on the phone, or watching TV comfortably at your work. Dog walking is also recommendable, especially if you already have a pet which enjoys canine company.
Online surveys – You have already heard of them, and now is the time to start clicking. Do a bit of research and find the most profitable surveys. The internet is full of simple enquiries which can bring you extra money.
Online lessons – The mere fact that you are a native speaker of English language makes you eligible for earning over $20 per hour. There are massive numbers of websites, mobile apps and online schools which you could use to increase your monthly revenue. The hours can be very flexible, so you can do it at your own pace. What is more, you needn't be an English teacher or have any previous experience. If you enjoy working with people and making small talk, this could be your perfect side hustle.
Car sharing – Driving to work every day can be used to earn the money needed for simple redecorations. Your commute will be more enjoyable if you make it your job. Since you have to travel to work anyway, why don't you sign up for a car share app, and offer a ride to the others? For a nice compensation, of course.
There you have it. These are the ways you should consider if you're thinking about remodelling your home. If you're Australian, the thought has certainly crossed your mind on more than one occasion. Home Equity Loans and Home Equity Line of Credit are definitely the best options when it comes to borrowing from a lender. As for the minor alterations, we have provided you with simple, but effective solutions.
The last word of wisdom: whichever option you go for, you should carefully consider all the factors before making the final decision. Be honest to yourself about your money management abilities. When you decide on the renovation project, make sure you include all the possible additional costs into the equation. Only then will you have a clear picture of how big an investment you have to make, and be able to act according to it.

Ben Tuffin

Steve Godwin, BID Manager says "We are delighted to welcome Stuart and the Geek Emporium to Andover. The BID is working very hard during a difficult trading environment to being vitality to the town. Although across the country we are seeing failures from some large retail chains, there is still strong interest from independent traders such as Stuart. BID also brought to the town, Alex McGarry Studios which is next to the Geek Emporium and Alex recently celebrated her first year of trading in the town.
"One of the reasons that people come into town is for the experience and with a healthy number of established and new quirk independent businesses, we are optimistic for the future"

Date First Sighted: 1st November 2016.
During our first encounter, we estimated that this manta was roughly 2.9 metres in width, from wing-tip to wing-tip. Based on her size, yet lack of mating scars on her left pectoral fin, we class this manta as a sub-adult.
She is missing her tail, and a big chunk of her left pectoral fin has been bitten off, most likely during a shark attack.
Here you can see her missing tail and shark bite injury (1st November 2016).

Steve Kerr: Stephen Curry Injury 'Good Thing' for Warriors
by Marcel Mutoni December 07, 2017
Steve Kerr thinks Stephen Curry being out for a couple of weeks due to a sprained right ankle is a "good thing" for the Golden State Warriors.
Kerr: Stephen Curry injury 'a good thing for our team' https://t.co/7U6zhaIaHV
— Steve Reed (@SteveReedAP) December 6, 2017
Kerr says the defending champs can benefit from being forced to learn how to play without the two-time MVP.
Kevin Durant led the defending NBA champs past the Charlotte Hornets 101-87 Wednesday night by notching his first triple-double of the season.
Per the AP:
"In a weird way, it's a good thing for our team," Kerr said. "Obviously I want all of our players healthy. … I think big picture-wise over the next couple weeks it's an opportunity for our team to get better because we have to. We have no choice."
The two-time league MVP Curry landed awkwardly on the E'Twaun Moore's foot while going for a late steal in a 125-115 comeback win Monday night at New Orleans. He scored 31 points before the injury and is averaging 26.3 points, 6.6 assists and 5.1 rebounds per game this season.
Kerr confirmed Wednesday that Curry's ankle is structurally intact.
"All things considered it was good news," Kerr said of the MRI results. "Hopefully it will be a couple, or a few weeks, and he will be back. It's not anything that's too serious."

La teoria di Newton-Cartan (o gravitazione newtoniana geometrizzata) è una riformulazione geometrica della gravità newtoniana introdotta per la prima volta da Élie Cartan e Kurt Friedrichs e successivamente sviluppata da Dautcourt, Dixon, Dombrowski e Horneffer, Ehlers, Havas, Künzle, Lottermoser, Trautman, e altri. In questa riformulazione, le somiglianze strutturali tra la teoria di Newton e la teoria della relatività generale di Albert Einstein sono facilmente visibili, ed è stata usata da Cartan e Friedrichs per dare una formulazione rigorosa del modo in cui la gravità newtoniana può essere vista come un limite specifico della relatività generale, e da Jürgen Ehlers di estendere questa corrispondenza a soluzioni specifiche della relatività generale.

Spaziotempo classico
Nella teoria di Newton-Cartan, si inizia con una varietà quadridimensionale liscia  e definisce due metriche (degeneri). Una metrica temporale  con segnatura , utilizzato per assegnare lunghezze temporali ai vettori su  e una metrica spaziale  con segnatura  . Si richiede anche che queste due metriche soddisfino una condizione di trasversalità (o "ortogonalità"),  . Pertanto, si definisce uno spaziotempo classico come un quadrupla ordinata , dove  e  sono come descritti,  è un operatore di derivata covariante compatibile con le metriche; e le metriche soddisfano la condizione di ortogonalità. Si potrebbe dire che uno spaziotempo classico è l'analogo di uno spaziotempo relativistico , dove  è una metrica lorentziana liscia sulla varietà  .

Formulazione geometrica dell'equazione di Poisson
Nella teoria della gravità di Newton, l'equazione di Poisson si scrive come

dove  è il potenziale gravitazionale,  è la costante gravitazionale e  è la densità di massa. Il principio di equivalenza debole motiva una versione geometrica dell'equazione del moto per una particella puntiforme nel potenziale

dove  è la massa inerziale e  la massa gravitazionale. Poiché, secondo il principio di equivalenza debole , la corrispondente equazione del moto

non contiene più un riferimento alla massa della particella. Seguendo l'idea che la soluzione dell'equazione è quindi una proprietà della curvatura dello spazio, si costruisce una connessione in modo che l'equazione geodetica

rappresenta l'equazione del moto di una particella puntiforme nel potenziale  . La connessione che ne risulta è

insieme a  e  (  ). La connessione è stata costruita in un sistema inerziale ma può essere dimostrata valida in qualsiasi sistema inerziale mostrando l'invarianza di  e  sotto trasformazioni di Galileo. Il tensore di curvatura di Riemann nelle coordinate del sistema inerziale di questa connessione è quindi dato da

dove le parentesi  stanno a significare la combinazione antisimmetrica del tensore . Il tensore di Ricci è dato da

che porta alla seguente formulazione geometrica dell'equazione di Poisson

Più esplicitamente, se gli indici i e j spaziano sulle coordinate spaziali 1, 2, 3, allora la connessione è data da

il tensore di curvatura di Riemann di

e il tensore di Ricci e lo scalare di Ricci di

dove tutti i componenti non elencati sono uguali a zero.

Si noti che questa formulazione non richiede l'introduzione del concetto di metrica: la sola connessione fornisce tutte le informazioni fisiche.

I haven't been as exited to see a Batman game since the original release of Batman: Arkham Asylum in 2009!
Arkham Knight is scheduled to release late 2014, and takes place a year after the events of Arkham City. The supervillain in this story features the return of Scarecrow, who gathers and unites other villains of Gotham City, including Penguin, Two-Face and my personal favorite Harley Quinn – who according to the trailer will be a playable character!
Rocksteady has stated Arkham Knight will be their last entry in the Arkham series. Let's hope they go out with a bang!
Hope you guys enjoy the trailer as much as I did! I can't wait to play this!

In 1981, Frank Addiego and colleagues published "Female Ejaculation: A Case Study" in The Journal of Sex Research. In the article, the authors find that female ejaculation, or the expulsion of fluid from a female's urethra during or before orgasm, is a legitimate phenomenon that can occur when one stimulates an area in the vaginal wall that the team names the Gräfenberg-spot. According to the authors, at the time of publication, many individuals believed that if a female expelled fluid during orgasm, the fluid was urine and, thus, improper bladder control caused the expulsions.

Zacc descends on 10 Zimra officers, agents
By RICHARD MUPONDE
The Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (Zacc) has arrested 10 Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (Zimra) officers and agents based at Beitbridge Border Post over alleged smuggling of 433 vehicles into the country.
Four supervisors are still under investigation, of which one of them has since been suspended after being implicated in the scam.
In a statement released on Wednesday, Zacc confirmed the arrest of the officials, who are likely to appear in court today.
"A team of Zacc officers on the above-mentioned operation have achieved the following. About 10 Zimra officers and agents have been arrested and they are likely to appear at Beitbridge Magistrates' Court probably by end of this week. Four supervisors are also implicated in the smuggling scam and one supervisor was suspended and the other three are still at work. There are three companies which were contracted by Zimra to clear vehicles and goods, (and they) were also arrested and are likely to appear in court as soon as possible," Zacc said.
According to a section of the Customs and Excise Act, any person who smuggles any goods shall be guilty of an offence and liable to a fine not exceeding level 14 or three times the duty-paid value of the goods, whichever is the greater.
The offence also attracts imprisonment for a period not exceeding five years or both.
Offenders are also liable to paying costs of investigations, where smuggled goods were discovered by the use of any mechanical scanning device.
A fortnight ago, Zimra recalled 433 vehicles after it was detected that they were smuggled and did not pay customs and excise duty.
Zimra officials, allegedly working hand in glove with some unscrupulous shipping agents or third parties, are believed to be behind the scheme, whose epicentre was at Beitbridge, the country and region's busiest port.
The scheme, run by various syndicates, was exposed after some vehicles were intercepted by the department and other government agencies.
Other ports might have been involved in the scam, which exposes how porous the customs and excise systems could be.
The government recently enacted another legislation that provides for the forfeiture of any goods or assets deemed to have been acquired from proceeds of crime.
At Beitbridge, some shipping agents known to have been beneficiaries of this smuggling ring have built massive houses and drive expensive vehicles.
Zimra spokesperson Francis Chimanda asked for questions to be emailed to him, but had not responded at the time of going to print last night.

Child abuse and neglect numbers moving in the right direction
David Blatt // June 15, 2009 // Updated: May 2, 2019
OK Policy Blog // Child Health & Safety // Health
We're out with our latest Numbers You Need bulletin for June, tracking economic and fiscal trends in Oklahoma and the nation. While the bulletin focuses on monthly and quarterly data on jobs, inflation, work support programs, and the like, each month we present annual data on some indicator of Oklahoma's general prosperity and well-being. This month we look at the trend in the annual number of confirmed cases of child abuse and neglect in the state. The news is decidedly encouraging.
Last year's total of 11,714 confirmed cases of abuse and neglect is the lowest this decade. The rate of child abuse and neglect cases – 13.0 per 1,000 children in the population – is the lowest since FY '94 and is down 35 percent from the peak rate of 20.0 confirmed cases of abuse and neglect per 1,000 children in FY '98.
While the statewide rate is important, it is worth noting wide discrepancies across counties in the rate of confirmed cases of child abuse and neglect. According to the 2007-2008 Oklahoma Kids Count Factbook put out by the Oklahoma Institute for Child Advocacy, rates for the most recent three year period (FY '04 – FY '06) ranged from a high of 42.5 cases per 1,000 children in Coal County to a low of 5.8 per 1,000 in Kingfisher County.
There is not a clear single factor responsible for the decline in child abuse and neglect; rather, those involved in the field point to a combination of policies, practices, and economic circumstances:
On the policy side, the state has invested heavily over the past decade in front-end prevention programs, such as the Children First Program and Healthy Start initiative, aimed at providing at-risk parents the resources and skills to avoid engaging in abusive behaviors. A newer pilot program, Safe Care, specifically targets families identified at the highest risk for abuse.
Within DHS, Child Protective Services has been in the process of implementing a new practice model that focuses on conducting assessments, rather than investigations, of families that have been reported to them, allowing for more timely and effective interventions in at-risk situations before actual abuse occurs.
At the same time, the state's extended stretch of strong economic growth and low unemployment may also have contributed to the drop in abuse through FY '08 by providing a greater measure of economic security for children and their families. DHS also points to its ongoing success in increasing child support payments to single parents and linking low-income parents to work supports such as food stamps and child care as reducing the financial and psychological stress on families.
The explanation does not seem to be any decline in the effort to report and investigate suspected abuse: as can be seen from DHS' annual statistical report on child abuse and neglect, the number of reported cases of abuse and neglect that were investigated has remained steady at just over 60,000 in recent years.
The Legislature has taken a strong interest of late in the child welfare system, passing HB 1734 this past session, which was based on a comprehensive and largely critical audit of the system. DHS was appropriated $1.15 million this year to begin implementing some of the key recommendations from the audit, including establishing a statewide telephone hotline and creating a Medical Passport program.
Hopefully these reforms will complement and reinforce the existing efforts that seem to be making real and long-awaited progress in tackling one of Oklahoma's gravest problems. However, with the downturn in the economy and parents losing jobs and income, the financial strain on families may once again lead to a spike in abuse. This is all the more reason not to get too comfortable with these numbers, but to be on the lookout for those in your community who may need some extra support in these challenging times. Those who are interested in becoming involved in child abuse prevention efforts should contact the Oklahoma State Department of Health at (405) 271-7611 or through their website. A variety of opportunities exist ranging from the simple to more involved commitments.

What's in French dressing? Starting next month, the FDA doesn't have a say.
Allana Akhtar Jan. 13, 2022, 8:43 PM
The FDA will no longer regulate ingredients in French salad dressing. Roberto Machado Noa/LightRocket via Getty Images
The FDA will stop regulating the ingredients in French salad dressing.
The change stems partly from a petition filed by the Association for Dressing and Sauces.
The FDA said it will modernize food standards, allowing for "innovation to produce more healthful foods."
The US government will no longer regulate French dressing, allowing companies to change up ingredients and appeal to health-conscious consumers.
Starting February 14, the Food and Drug Administration will revoke the standardization of French salad dressing, a new ruling from the agency said.
The change stems in part from a citizen petition filed by the Association for Dressing and Sauces, a condiment manufacturing interest group representing corporations like Hidden Valley, Meyer's, Kroger, and Ken's.
The petition filed by the ADS pointed to "a proliferation of nonstandardized pourable dressings for salads with respect to flavors (Italian, Ranch, cheese, fruit, peppercorn, varied vinegars, and other flavoring concepts) and composition (including a wide range of reduced fat, "light," and fat-free dressings)," according to the FDA ruling issued on January 13.
The ADS previously told The New York Times in 2020 the FDA signaled regulation wasn't necessary to promote honesty and fair dealing in the interest of the consumer, and could inadvertently stymie salad dressing innovation.
Until now, the FDA has required foods labeled French dressing to contain at least 35% of vegetable oil, plus vinegar diluted with water. Wish-Bone, for example, makes its French dressing using primarily soybean oil, water, sugar, vinegar, tomato paste, and apple cider vinegar.
Though salad dressing sales have been flat as of 2018, refrigerated options — which tend to use fresher ingredients — saw growth while shelf stable products decreased, according to IRI data reviewed by Produce Business. Nutritionists, like those at Mayo Clinic, have told consumers to avoid creamy dressings high in fat.

The regulator earlier said it will continue to modernize food standards to allow for "innovation to produce more healthful foods." The FDA will continue to protect consumers from the misbranding of products like bread, jams, juices, and some chocolates.
Despite its name, Americans created French dressing and Kraft Heinz first marketed the product in the 1920s. In the UK, French dressing is a synonym for vinaigrette, which was created in France, per Insider's Marilyn La Juenesse.
Association for Dressing and Sauces was not immediately available for comment.

Garden Bed Ideas Plants - When growing vegetables in raised garden beds using the Square Foot Gardening method, your beds will need to be sectioned off into one-foot segments called planting squares. A 4x4 foot garden bed, for instance, will have 16 planting squares (because there are 16 square feet in a 4x4 bed). Each planting square has an address used to identify the square.
While the methods for addressing change, among the most straightforward is to make use of letters for amounts and columns for rows, as well as the square is identified by the combination of the two. Numbering beginnings in the upper left corner and goes left to right, top to bottom. As an example, planting square A1 is the upper left-hand square (1st column, 1st row), while planting square C4 is the square in the 3rd column and the 4th row. I've yet to find a garden bed that is commercially available for marking planting squares off with an included attribute.
I wish somebody would build a Square Foot Gardening grid that you can fit into a garden bed that is raised to mark off squares, but until that is available, should you would like to use the Square Foot Gardening process, you'll need to devise your own personal strategy for marking off squares. The first step is to calculate the measurements on the interior of the garden bed, which will be the length and width that's really useable for planting.
The 4x8 foot garden beds I purchased, for example, are 4x8 feet from end to end. However , when you connect the planks at the corners, you lose several inches, hence the interior measurements of the garden bed are actually a couple of inches short of the advertised size. In my instance, my beds have an interior measurement of 46.25 inches x 94 inches. I refer to these measurements as Useable Span for the rest of this informative article.

As US agents prepare to arrest 'thousands,' migrants live in fear
World > United States > As US agents prepare to arrest 'thousands,' migrants live in fear

Thousands of undocumented immigrants were waiting in fear and uncertainty ahead of nationwide raids Sunday that President Donald Trump said would lead to a wave of expulsions.
Demonstrators in dozens of cities protested the planned raids, and local and state officials called for restraint, but to no effect.
Before dawn on Sunday, agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) are expected to hit the streets of at least 10 major American cities with plans to arrest some 2,000 undocumented migrants who entered the United States recently.
The scope of the operation appears far more modest than the "millions" Trump had promised would be detained and expelled when he first mentioned the raids — and subsequently postponed — last month.
But that has not eased the anguish felt by those who fear they might be targeted.

Adding to their concerns are media reports that ICE agents are prepared to scoop up not just those targeted by removal orders but also other undocumented migrants that agents may come upon incidentally.
That, potentially, could include some migrants who have been in the country for years, with homes, jobs and children who are US citizens.
'It's traumatizing'
"This uncertainty, this fear, is wreaking havoc," Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot said on CNN. "It's traumatizing people."
Trump insisted on Friday that "most mayors" want the raids.
"Most mayors do. You know why? They don't want to have crimes in their cities," he said, repeating his frequent — and incorrect — assertion that migrants are more likely to be criminals than native-born Americans.
Several mayors have expressed concern about the federal operation.
Miami Mayor Francis Suarez pointed out that in 2018, his first year in office, his Florida city experienced its "lowest homicide rate in 51 years — so I don't understand the rationale for choosing Miami."
"It doesn't make it easier for us, as mayors, to keep our citizens and those who are in our city … quiet and calm."
'A political act'
Some city officials, as well as pro-migrant and civil rights groups, have sought to educate those who might be targeted on their rights in the event of a raid.

"We're asking people, if you are in fear of deportation, to stay in on Sunday, to travel in groups," Atlanta Mayor Keisha Bottoms said on CNN. If "someone comes to your door, please don't open the door unless they have a warrant."
New York Mayor Bill de Blasio told MSNBC he sees the raids as "a political act to convince a lot of people in America that immigrants are the problem."
Like many other city officials, he fears the aggressive roundup could intimidate migrants, making them less likely in future to cooperate with local police, thus making it harder to ensure public safety.
Millions 'in line'
"We have millions of people standing in line waiting to become citizens of this country," Trump said Friday.
He said it would be unfair to them if others could simply cross the border in an attempt to gain the privileges of American life.
But the impending raids have raised concerns about how a new influx could affect federal detention centers already badly overcrowded.

The United States has been struggling for more than a year with a migration crisis on its southern border, as thousands of people stream into the US each month, mostly from Central American countries riven by violence and poverty.
The number of undocumented arrivals totaled more than 100,000 last month — down 28 percent from May but still at a "critical" level, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
On Friday and Saturday, dozens of protests were organized across the country by groups demanding the closing of overcrowded detention centers and opposing the planned raids.
Requisitioning hotels?
Several American news outlets have reported on centers holding young children, separated from their parents, in crowded and unhygienic conditions.
US officials have acknowledged the overcrowding but insisted they are doing their best to provide decent conditions.
Some reports Saturday suggested that ICE might have to requisition hotel rooms to accommodate those detained in the upcoming raids.
A major hotel chain, Marriott International, was asked by AFP whether it had been contacted by the government.
It said it had not yet been contacted, but added, "Marriott has made the decision to decline any requests to use our hotels as detention facilities."

Even the typical spring weather in Central Oregon – featuring chilly winds, the threat of rain, a few snowflakes, and some fleeting sunshine – couldn't put a damper on the day for Sheila and Scot, two truly amazing people I had the honor of photographing last month during their ceremony in Bend. I had so much fun working with these guys! It makes things that much better when you're with friends who give you the freedom to find moments and document their day. Thanks and congrats!


Pokemon is quite popular in Japan. I know, surprising, right?
This particular scene was just across the street from a Yodobashi Camera store. Oh how I miss Yodobashi Camera. A big box store that has actually has everything, not just the baseline consumer models that can be easily sold to the masses (with an extended warranty). No, Yodobashi has the good stuff.
Yeah, I know that rant has nothing to do with this photo, but really? What could I say about this photo that it doesn't say for itself?
